Tht glue to make tht two factions ttick together could aot bt maaufaetared. They would hart twt tandidalot la tht teld. There was but one path of safety for eoa servativt mea to take, and that leadt them at once to the support of Bell and Everett.

Smith who was a delegntt from that county to the Raleigh Opposition Convention, and upon a call from Gov. F.llii he aaid in tubttanot that in that Convention he waa ap pointed Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions and the subject of ad valorem was discuised before tba Committee, aad he opposed it with nil the arguments that he could. The majority, however, were against and a Chairman of the Committee he drew the hi It resolutions embodying the eense of the committee. was adopted by tht Convention. The arguments on that occasion, aa well as subsequent reflection, had convinced him that tht principle was correct, aad however much it might subject him to the charge of a change of opinion, aa aa honest man, he was bound to avow it. AN APPEAL. We cannot resist giving to our Democratic friends the following nppeal from one of the party's mostsble papers in Virginia the Alexandria Sentinel We find it in the Snliiul of the 80th nil: " We entreat those of ear party .twhOr by their'taM ents and the honors they enjoy, are looked to as tbe leaders of its counsels, to employ their earnest efforts from tbe present until the meeting of the Baltimore Convention, in composing the difficulties which beset aa. There surely have been time end effort enongh employed in generating discord, to eatisfy the most unreasonable even of our enemies. Let us give a few daye of hearty, earnest endeavor, to beal the wounds that hare. been made, and marshal the Democracy for the coming battle. We tell our party leaders and chieftains, that never have the Democrats been so dis heartened, never have they placed so low an estimate on your good practical sens and sagacity, na now. To see yoa tearing tbe party te pieces, hunting np and magnifying points or dtflerence, taking trouble before its time, tod producing the utmost discord on the ere of battle, has fillsd the people with grief and amaze ment; sua' many m good Pimoerat it ivokioj about and enquiring K-AefAer i he eounlry eannot afford tome Jack et, removed from all the eonlentione of the day, on whom ere may rally by a tort of ipontaneaut mowement, that tKall sweep avay all who art note engnged in tormenting as. All that it ranting it It find out the man for tvek a movement. Let tbe people be looking him np while the politiciene are cultivating their quarrels, if that is the course which they are resolved to pursue. . Ws re joice thst the end of their work ie at hand, and that eooa we shall know the worst they intend to do. ' We would suggest to the Sentinel, and those "good Democrats" who are looking about and enquiring whether the country eannot afford some Jackson" to save "tbe party," that they can do a better thing than eaiiug that rotten and corrupt concern. Let them cease to think for awhile of "the party," and forget that they are "Democrat," aad try to remember that they are something more than Democrats that they are American citizens, and that they have a great and glori ous country and Constitution to save for themselvesand perpetuate to their children. The country and the Constitution would get along well enough if freed from the doctoring of small beer politicians, and if all "good Democrats" would join the Constitution il Union men in the support of Bell and Ererett, and elect them, the Republican and all other sectional parties would be sunk so low that tba resurrection trumpet would never, revive them. Let tbe people turn their eyes toward Bell and Erer ett. Does Democracy really wish to save the country from tbe tender mercies of Black Republicanism? Tbey profess oiae A let them practice a Utile. Can't i Democrats support Bell and Ererett? If they really seek tbe good of the country, they can and w ill. FILLMORE FOR BELL AND EVERETT. The "story" hat been extensively circulated by the Democratic papers that Fillmore hat gone over to the Black Republicans, and bad declared ia favor of Lin coin, and notwithstanding the abuse Democracy heaped upon him ej times past for his consistent national course, they now pretend to shed heaps of tears over hit reported defection to sectionalism. It was re ported, too, in too earne paragraph, that "his homt organ," the "Buffale Kzfreu," had indicated, before tht meeting of .the Chic&fd .Convention, that such would be hit coarse, and that ih Ezprttt has since raited the standard of "Lincoln and Hamlin." The only paper in Buffalo that ever waa credited as "hit organ' in timer past was tht Comewrein! Adrertiter, Which, since its former publisher failed ia 1858,- hat been, we think ia other hands, aad if it ha bow dex dared for the Republican Dominoes, it should not canst surprise. If any ont, however, doubts that Mr. Fillmore it till a patriot we'iavite attention to a letter of his, which we give this week on the first page, which was written just before his defection was said to have, taken place, and to stilt stronger proof given in a letter of his since tbe nomination of Belt and Everett, in which Mr; Fillmore says: , , "If it was in my power, I would at once elect Messrs. Boll and Everett, than whom better nomina tions could not have been made." P. S. Since the above was prepared and pat in type wt learn that the Baltimore Patriot is "author ized" to pronounce the statement, going the round of tbe Democratic and Republican press, that Mr. Fill more supports the Chicago nominees, "an entire fabri cation, without the semblance of truth to support it." MR. EVERETT. Tbe Wsshington correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune concludes a recent letter to -that paper with the following paragraph: "Mr. Everett, in his diplomatic career, ehed lustre npon this country. Hit answer, while Secretary of State, to three powers, France, Spain and England, npon the Cuban question, was mstchlers and remains unanswered. The Democratic Review bailed that paper aa the best that ever appeared from the Stat Department. Douglas said thst 'if fcrerett bad done nothing else to render hie administration of tbt State Department illustrious, bis nam would live in nil coming -time in that diplomatic letter, as one who could appreciate the spirit of the age and perceive tbe destiny of lbs nation.' " MR. BELL'S OPLMON ON TBI TERRITORIAL QUESTION. . Tht foUowln it aa extract from t eeeh ef tbe Hon. Joha BeU ill the Senate of tat tlaated gut, May 14, ISM, tad dearly anoagh Malta hit epiaioa oa tht Territorial questtoor It it very well for th lro4ormt ftaator freea Georgia (Mr. Toombs,) to proclaim flow (bat bt it not legislating for any eeotion; bt certainly it not for tht South; I think no Southern man taw now tnnt tnt South bat any particular interest In this bill because it it not like tht compromise of I860; for la Now Mex ico and Utah yon let tht Territory stand legally re stricted tr barred against tlavtry at II was by public lew. When thai territory waa brought Into the Uaioa, Mr. Calhona aad some other honorable Si tort contended that tbt Constitution would operate aa a repeal or tut Mexican law abolishing slavery, gave proteetioa to the elavebolder. Some other Sea atore doabted on that point. The honorable Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Brown) can, perhapt, txplaln the different doctriaet which then wort held In tbt South on this tubjeet. At all Croats, the compromise acta of 1830 left the Territory a it was then aoaexeel. aad allowed the people to Interdict or establish slave ry, as they pleated, when tbey ahonM form their 8tate CoastitutloB. That wat tht doctrine of aoa-la lerventlon then. What It it In tblt bill ? I em ia Ce vor of tba principle of noa-lnterveation.

Well, ranpoao tbt Inl Legislature shall admit slavery, may net the atxt abolish it, and thus keep np n perpetual ttruggle; while Congras, at the asms time, may be agitated again by questions of further intervention? Yet this it a measure of peace to the country! II It to give quiet I All egitation is to ceaae onder it!" PLATFORMS. Below, we give more Democratic authority against party platform. The following article we take from the New Orleant True Delta, and invite particular at tention to it: Next to the Convention system itself, of which it it tht complement, this platform business is the sheer- eat piece of political knavery ever eoacocted by the fertile brain of teeming politicians, for whilt it tan bt avade the instrument of exclusion from popular ton! denot and honor of tbt gifted, honorable aad patriotic of mea, it hat aever been kaona to impose the least earn or restraint npon any ont wbt chose to disregard i when once in office.

Ws learn from a gentleman who had occasion recently to travel over a great part of Stanly, that in the prosecution of bis business he waa brought into contact with many old line Whigs, who considered it their duty in 18oC to vote for Buchanan, but who now express their determination to vote for Pool and ad valorem. Good I We hope their tense of duty will promt them to go n step further., and that they will vote for Bell and Ererett in November next. We think they cannot well do otherwise, for if a eense of patriotism led them in ISoo to aid in putting in- power a party that was then claimed could only save the country from certain threaten 1 dangers, how much more arc their service now needed in suppressing dangers far more imminent than- then, r Sectionalism and disunionUm are at this time raising tbeir "hideous fronts" with more bo!dne than ever, and nothing but a complete overthrow of both the Democratic and Republican parti e will give tbe land that rest from aoitatiov that it so ntach needs. Fall into line, then, every rue patriot and sincere lover of hit country, and, vote for "Bell and Ererett, tbe Constitution, the Union; and the enforcement of the laws." EDWARD EVERETT ACCEPTS. A dirpatch freaa Boeton, dated the Slat nit., says that a Bell and Everett ratification meeting would be held in Faceuil Hall on the 1st at which a letter would be read from Edward Ererett accepting his nomination by the Constitutional Union Party for the Vict Presi dency. CORRESPONDENCE. We in in the Raleigh Begitter of the 2d tact, a long correspondence between Frank I. Wilton, Gov. Ellis, and ethert. It has come to hand too late for us to da anything with it this week. We ahall try to do something editorially with it next week.

POLITICAL CHANGES. t In 1855 Abraham Lincoln and Lyman Trumbull were candidates for the U. S. Senate ia Illinois. Lincoln wat tht Whig, Trumbull the Democratic candidate. Trumbull beat Lincoln and entered the Sennit a "nat ural ally" of the South. Lincoln is now the Black Re publican candidate for President, and Trumbull Black Republican Senator from Illinois, and Lincoln's ardent supporter. A COUPLE OF "SUCKERS." "Sucker" it slang for Illiasisian. Abe Lincoln is between six and seven feet high, consequently he hat been dubbed the "Tall" or "Big 8acker."

The last Mobil Advertiter, says: - "Never, ei nee the days of Harrison, in 1840, and Taylor, in 1848, have nominations been made which fell so favorably npon the public ear or woven a weak ened to much bonett enthusiasm nnd pleasure. Ia this section, we have seen nothing like it si not 1848, and we are daily gratified with fresh evldenoet of th trength and popularity of our candidates. A another evidence of the feeling la Alabama, la behalf of Bell and Everett, we cite the fact that at aa impromptu, ratification meeting at Saltan, la (hat State, ob the night the newt of tht nomination reached there, two prominent Democrats, the Hoa. Aleiaader White aad Col. J. W. Lapsley, addressed the meeting in an eloquent manner, apeaking in the highest terms of our nobtt candidates and tht impregnable platform of tht Constitution aad the Union, apon whioh .they eland. The fact here stated it a ttrikiag tvidonat of another fact; to wit: that the people of tht South are tired and disgusted with tbe hnmbuggery of Democ racy, and intend to rally with unparalleled dnaniatity to the support of tht only Conetitutional Union can didates that will be ia th field Ball and Ererett. Not only in Alabama, but throughout all the other Southern States, the nomination of Bell and Everett is awakening an enthusiasm, in the highest degree gratifying to every friend and lover of hit country.
